Final Fantasy Hunting Grounds & Legacy

[Shurlock]

Hey, I don't think anybody heard of these online games before, but they're a couple nice mmorpg games for Final Fantasy created by fans. They're retro style like the NES and SNES so don't expect anything but nostalgia :P

Before you can play them you have to download the Byond (http://www.byond.com) client: download (http://www.byond.com/download/build/454.1036_byond.exe)
It's basically a network game client for all the games created with Byond. It helps when creating Byond games when you have no networking experience...

Anyway, after you installed the client, create a Byond key on the site (it's like registering to become a member, but free). Now you can log in to either of these two games by clicking on the "Join" link under the "live games" section (or any other byond game):

Final Fantasy Online (http://www.byond.com/games/Gakumerasara/FinalFantasyOnline) (byond version)

A more "adventure" typed Final Fantasy game with the MMORPG concept, which tries to imitate Final Fantasy 1, 2, and 3 to an extent.

Well I personally like Final Fantasy Legacy, it is the closest to the Final Fantasy gameplay than all of them. Though I think another Final Fantasy game is on there (not listed) trying to imitate the NES Final Fantasy 3 with similar smooth gameplay. But I haven't tried it personally. It's called Final Fantasy Legend of the Crystals (http://www.byond.com/games/Dpheonix7/FinalFantasyLegendoftheCrystals). It was made by the user Dphoenix7 but it appears it's not hosted often and probably not finished. The media previews isn't too bad though.
